Awesome Album

Easily one of my favorite albums of all time is Pavement's Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain album, even though most would say Slanted and Enchanted rocks the socks off of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. Hell, theres also people who insist that Terror Twilight is the best album eva. But for those of you who are like, "Who the hell are Pavement?", Pavement was a 90s indie-rock band led by Stephen Malkmus, one of my favorite front men, who know goes solo, but still is pretty good. However, in my opinon, Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is one of the best albums from the 90s, so take a listein to one of my favorite tracks from the album(its a 12 way tie), Unfair, then go out an buy it. It will blow your mind, so don't listein to it with headphones on.

Pavement-Unfair

Psychedelic Dogs?

Another grrrrreat band coming to Tucson are psychedelic-rockers Dr. Dog. Hailing from the city of brotherly love, Dr. Dog have toured with jam band My Morning Jacket and more recently, Dr. Dog played the Bonnaroo Music festival this past June. They just put an album, We All Belong, back in February, but according to their website a new album will be out February 2008. In the mean time, go see Dr. Dog live at Solar Culture and in the mean time for that, heres a great track of their first album, Toothbrush.

Colored Denim=Newest Trend Flash?

(getting this from http://www.wearethemarket.com/)

"The trend-savvy folks at The Doneger Group send out weekly email "trend flashes" from the streetwear market which we hope to share with you on a regular basis. This week, its all about colored denim."

Doneger's direction includes:
Red most commercial
Skinny and straight leg
Worn slim to spotlight sneakers
Colored shorts for Spring '08

Interesting predictions, eh? A little late on skinny/straight leg, but i'll probably get some colored shorts for next summer. However, no way ever would i wear red denim. Black/Brown/White/Blue im allright for but no red.

PS-Check out this awesome video of some graffeti artists using lights to make designs and animations. Watch it a few times, as it moves prett fast and you'll see something new each time.

The Killers B-side

Recently someone sent me a collection of The Killer's B-sides/rarities/live stuff. Great stuff so heres one of the best tracks, Soft Surrender (Where Is She).

Hope they visit Tucson someday, oh well.

New Jack's Mannequin song

As far as I'm aware, first live performance and best video so far of a new Jack's Mannequin song called "Cellphone".Jack's Mannequin's website is supposed to update later this week with a studio and photo blog on the production of their upcoming sophomore album.
